What does G.O.A.T. stand for in the barnyard?
Greatest Of All Time, no kidding!
Do we offer a try-before-you-buy, "test graze" program for our paddles?
Officially? Not quite. But if you bleat nicely for a demo, we've got a goat-path to make it happen. Just note, our demo paddles aren't as numerous as the stars in the sky – we can't send them galloping all over the country!

Absolutely! Each G.O.A.T. Paddle high-performance paddle is backed by an industry-leading limited lifetime warranty that's the goat (greatest of all time) in the Pickleball world.

Are our paddles as advanced as a goat's climbing skills?
Absolutely! Our paddles boasts the latest barn-tech, featuring a unibody design that's as seamless as a goat's coat in winter. It's the pinnacle of thermoformed technology in the Pickleball pasture.
What's the secret behind our paddle's face, and why does it have more grip than a goat on a steep hill?
Our paddle flaunts a triple-layered carbon fiber face with specialized T700 thread. This isn't just any face; it's the gritty face that lasts longer than any other Pickleball paddle out there. It's like the enduring spirit of a mountain goat, but for your game.
How long is the handle? Is it like holding onto a goat's horn?
The handle stretches out to 5.5 inches, making it a comfortable grip, not too unlike holding onto a friendly goat's horn – minus the headbutting, of course.
What's the bleat about the Control Series versus the Performance Series paddles?
Diving into the details, the Control Series paddles boast a 16 mm core thickness, much like the sturdy stance of a goat on a rocky ledge, offering you unparalleled stability and control. On the flip side, the Performance Series thins out to 14 mm, akin to a nimble goat, providing enhanced maneuverability, a snappy response, and more power behind your hit. It's all about whether you prefer the steadfastness of a mountain goat or the agility of a younger kid.
How do I keep my pickleball paddle from turning into a goat chew toy?
Here are three key steps to prevent your paddle from becoming part of a goat's diet:
- Keep it clean - A bit of glass cleaner and a lint-free cloth should do the trick. No nibbling, please!
- Avoid extreme weather - Just like a goat in a thunderstorm, your paddle doesn't like being too hot or too cold. Keep it out of your car to maintain peak performance.
- Consider a cover - Our Pickleball cases might just save your paddle from an untimely demise, extending its life and keeping it away from curious goat mouths.

How long can I expect my pickleball paddle to last before it goes to the great paddock in the sky?
The lifespan of your G.O.A.T. Paddle largely depends on how you care for it. Generally, paddles last from one to two years. A good rule of hoof is to plan on getting a fresh G.O.A.T. paddle every year.
